I can think of a mess of things about many places, but I'll start with just a few...
England- the Queen lives there. I love that idea and all the pageantry.
Plus you have great castles.
Ireland- it's just beautiful, 'nuff said!! Well and there's that awesome accent too.
Austria- the Lippizzan Stallions.
Okay....I'll be back later...you guys put down some stuff!

What's great about Mongolia is that we're building a statue of Genghis Khan which will be over 40 meters high. He will be mounted, holding a golden whip in his right hand against his lap. This will attract many tourists from the United States of America.

Ireland is nice, its pretty, and its a nice place to live, western Europe is generally like that. The North has gotten much better as well, thank god, finally. Irish people are also generally quite a friendly bunch, though we are all gone a bit money mad at the moment, but that will change. Though its all a bit rainy at the moment so I am not that mad about it, and I wish I was on a quiet island off the greek coast or something. But yes, Ireland, it is very beautiful, and thats not an idle boast, though almost all countries have nice scenery in them. Scotland is a good country, very beautiful as well, and very wild, scots are good people, England I also like a lot, I was born there, its a good place, also lots of very pretty scenery, though a bit more bucolic than wild, good people, generally quite decent and tolerant for the most part. Wales is prettty as well, up north, though I don't know wales so well. Anyway thats my tuppence for now.

You did that. You feverishly whipped up some fancy web page in the last 90 seconds because I outed you and you couldnt take it.

The UK is great for -
the variety of scenery and because it's a small island you don't have to travel far to see it!
our history
the monarchy
the people
our sense of humour
we can and frequently do laugh at ourselves
the weather (ok it's grotty at the moment but at least we get proper seasons)
the food - sticky toffee pudding, bangers and mash, roast beef and yorkshire pudding, apple crumble, cream teas etc
the music - the Beatles, the Stones, Oasis, Cliff Richard (:wah: )
the literature - Shakespeare, Chaucer, the Bronte's etc
freedom of speech
the battle of Britain
I could be here for a while:D but I'll stop now

You do get the wrong end of the stick sometimes - it's what one does to opponents over the backgammon board.
There's several airports in Scotland, Nomad - mostly on sandy beaches where the tide can wash out the tyremarks.

Yak butter, milk and cheese is just delicious, not to mention Yak Cordon Bleu. Also, Manchuria has furnished many Candidates. Manchuria and Mongolians feature well in many pieces of profanity.
